Expand description
Oral tradition is particularly significant to the Cherokee, because they did not have a written language until 1821. Beginning with the tribe's legends and folktales passed on for generations, this title covers the historical background (including the Trail of Tears), arts and crafts, religion and medicine, government, traditional ceremonies, clothing, food, homes, and modern life of the Cherokee. Cherokee women were distinguished for their basket-weaving skills, and Cherokee "conjurers" contributed many herbal remedies that are used in holistic medicine today.
